We are offering palliative CARE.” • Medical management without dialysis • Instead of saying that a patient is withdrawing from dialysis or agreeing not to start • Acknowledges that death is imminent, but also sends an important message

  24. Dialysis at the end of life is a different sort of treatment Kidney specialists are pushing doctors to be more forthright with elderly people who have other serious medical conditions, to tell the patients that even though they are entitled to dialysis, they may want to decline such treatment and enter a hospice instead. In the end, it is always the patient’s choice.

  25. Dialysis of the elderly Recent studies have found that dialysis does not prolong life for many elderly people with other serious chronic illnesses. One study found that the procedure’s main effect is to increase the chances that such patients will die in the hospital rather than at home
